Help with Sub-Reports:Urgent

2004-01-29 04:52

Hi,

 

I have a master report with 6 sub-reports, all in detail. Now, the problem is:

 

There's 1 sub-report in the bottom of the detail, which returns say more number of rows than the space allocated for the sub-report.

 

And the space that's given for this subreport in the Master-report is say height 100 pixels.

 

Then what's happening is, because the 100 pixels space wasn't enough to display all 4 rows.

 

It displays 1 row in the first page and

2 rows in the second page and

4rth row in the third page.

 

And the remaining space is all empty.

 

What I want is if 100 pixels space wasn't enough, then the subreport has to stretch itself like:

1 row in first page and

all the remaining rows in the following page.

 

But this doesn't seem to happen, why?

 

Instead, what I think is happening is because the height of the subreport is 100 pixels, its displaying rows that only fit in 100 pixels wide in EACH page.

 

How do I avoid this?

 

thanks

Hi,

 

I have to see the XMLs to diagnose this.

 

But it might be that you use a very large band

and the upper elements inside do not have

isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true".

In this case you should apply this trick to optimise

the layout by splitting the band:

http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/tips.tricks.html#largebands

 

Or it might be that you have printOrder="Horizontal"

and the master band simply does not let the

subreports inside stretch.

 

I hope this helps.
